Critics can say that Bay of Bengal will get ruined with water levels falling down but most critics are just the inertia of momentum. Nothing will happen if say waters of Brahmaputra are tapped during monsoons in a major way and then tapping is tapered off to ensure adequate flow levels during lean season. Tapping say 10% of River outflows a safe distance away from the meeting point with the sea/ocean and taking surface waters to another coastal area or even pumping up for slow release during lean periods can do wonders.. We can nor only moderate the flows of linked rivers but also feed additional capacity of storage reservoirs and recharge the ground water aquifers also. Critics can be rest assured that nature will find its own ways to stabilise positive impacts on wild life as drowning during floods will not reduce its population and additional moisture in drought areas will also have positive impacts.
